Windows 7 have a good tool to creating a screenshot or to capture an image on desktop, and it's called snipping tool. If we are make tutorial, we need this tool to explain step by step our tutorial with an image. Good tutorial usually included image on the explanation, so everyone can understand tutorial by look at an image (screenshot).

Snipping tool support portable network graphic (PNG), GIF, JPEG, simple file HTML (MHT) file type. There are 4 kind of screenshot can made by snipping tool: windows snip, rectangular snip, full-screen snip, and free-form snip. With this tool we can edit the result of screenshot by use pen, highlighter, and eraser. Now, i will explain step by step, how to use it.

1. Click windows 7 icon on the left bottom of desktop

2. Click "All Programs"3. Click "Accessories"4. Click "Snipping Tool"5. Click and drag cursor around the area you want to capture6. Click "File" and go to "Save As"7. Choose location of picture file8. Give the name of picture, select file type of the picture9. Click "Save"

These are the result of snipping tool:1. Windows snip2. Rectangular snip

To say lol about this program means to say nothing. If in XP i had to pres 1 button (Ptr Scr) to make any screen in (read cerefuly now) ANY program. But now I have to juse some lol gadget that works only on decs top. What i'm trying to say here - DON'T MAKE LIFE MORE DIFICULT.

If you take screenshots with one program and edit them with the other, you do not need such big program as Snipping Tool. I’d recommend you something smaller, for example, SnapaShot.Pros:- no installation needed- in Vista and Win 7 you can make screenshots, using only 2 buttons.

Thank you for another essential article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a complete way of writing? I have a presentation incoming week, and I am on the lookout for such information
